IDF and Shin Bet closing in on Yahya Sinwar

as assassinations take their toll - security official replies
According to security sources, Sinwar's movement area, like other senior Hamas officials in the organization, is getting smaller and smaller.
Friday's operation in Khan Yunis, as well as the activity in the center of the Gaza Strip and Rafah, may advance the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to their primary goal: the elimination of senior Hamas leadership. In fact, one security source estimates that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is running out of places to hide.
Sinwar is almost alone at the top of Hamas. His close friends in the senior military ranks of the organization, as well as the senior officials, have been eliminated or have disappeared:
With cigarette prices at an all-time high in the Gaza Strip, the IDF has used the opportunity to incentivize disdain and distrust in Hamas among the residents of Gaza.
The IDF dropped cigarettes from the sky over the coastal area of Khan Yunis of the Gaza Strip on Thursday along with messages warning locals against the dangers Hamas, N12 reported on Friday.
While the IDF has been known to drop leaflets consistently before striking, requesting that the public evacuate the area immediately for their own safety, some have been used to offer rewards for Hamas leaders.
Could the media already have tired of The Silence of the Kams? Up through yesterday, America's institutional media have contented themselves with Stenogralism, offering Kamala Harris' narrative delivered off the record as their own reporting. Despite having a full press pool on Air Force Two, the media hasn't asked for so much as a white paper on any issue in the election, let alone point out that Harris hasn't actually formulated a policy platform at all.
Today, however, the leader of the Protection Racket Media signaled their curiosity -- at least -- about what Harris plans to do if she wins the election. Following up on a Trump tax-cut plan
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif defeated Chinese opponent Yang Liu in the 66kg gold medal bout at the Paris Summer Olympics on Friday. Khelif received a warm welcome from the crowd as she entered the ring at Roland Garros Stadium for her fourth bout of the Games. Algerian flags were seen waving all around the arena. In the first round, both fighters started off tentatively, but Khelif got the better of her southpaw opponent, taking the round in unanimous fashion. It was more of the same in the second round as a stiff punch from the Algerian sent Yang bouncing off
DETROIT — Stellantis is warning union workers that it could lay off as many as 2,450 of the 3,700 union workers employed at a truck plant just outside of Detroit. The job cuts would be at the Stellantis Warren Truck Plant, which builds an older version of the Ram 1500 pickup called the Tradesman, sold mainly to commercial businesses. The company came out with a new version of the truck in 2018, and for the 2025 model year there’s a new Tradesman. It’s likely that job cuts will be lower than that because of early retirement offers that are underway
WASHINGTON — U.S. District Court Judge Rachel P. Kovner, presiding over J6 hostage Ryan Samsel’s pro se case for emergency medical treatment, ordered the United States Marshals Service to serve the defendants the massive complaint Samsel filed in the Eastern District of New York showcasing how the federal government is playing political football with his life.
Samsel sued U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Metropolitan Detention Center, and the Washington Treatment Correctional Facility on July 19 in the Eastern District of New York, in two separate lawsuits.
Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday caved to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to delay the next hearing in the January 6 case against Trump.
Jack Smith’s January 6 case against President Trump is now back with Judge Tanya Chutkan following the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling.
The Supreme Court last month ruled 6-3 that Trump has absolute immunity for his core Constitutional powers.
Former presidents are entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for their official acts, according to the Supreme Court.

A top former adviser to President Joe Biden, 81, is dishing on why he really decided to step down from the 2024 race, and what his lasting legacy will be.

Charismatic Hall of Fame golfer Juan “Chi Chi” Rodriguez died Thursday in his native Puerto Rico at the age of 88, The Associated Press (AP) reported. Rodriguez, who reportedly learned how to play golf by using a guava tree stick as a club, became one of the sport’s most popular players known for his colorful character and antics on the links, according to The AP. “Chi Chi” was born Juan Antonio Rodriguez into a family of six children and spent his childhood helping his father harvest sugar cane before becoming the first Puerto Rican to make the PGA Tour, the AP reported.
Audio from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department's protective detail for President Joe Biden on July 17 was released Friday afternoon by Oversight Project, which obtained the recordings through a Freedom of Information Act request. Those recordings confirm RedState's reporting that Biden was first headed to University Medical Center, a trauma center, after he suddenly canceled a speaking engagement due to illness, then suddenly diverted directly to Harry Reid International Airport. The three recordings span a time frame of a few hours and are not timestamped, so it's difficult to get exact time frames from them
Five newly-released undercover videos show Texas-based Planned Parenthood abortionists describing how they abort late-term babies alive and then dismember them to avoid the federal partial-birth abortion law and then sell the baby body parts for profit. Liberty Counsel’s client Sandra Merritt, and David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, filmed the videos in 2015 during an undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood. Then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris investigated and charged Merritt and Daleiden while the videos were blocked from public release by a court order. The videos have now been released after a congressional subpoena cleared the way for public viewing.
President Joe Biden will campaign alongside Vice President Kamala Harris as an ousted 2024 candidate.
Harris will travel to the heavily Democrat state of Maryland alongside her former boss to “discuss the progress they are making to lower costs for the American people” as inflation continues to plague the U.S. Despite staying relatively quiet since being forced out of the race, Biden seeks to drill his legacy into Americans and focus his attention on his policies, such as infrastructure and lowering drug prices.
The Harris campaign previously said it would “strategically” place Biden in states he won in 2020,

Former President Trump’s plane was diverted to Billings, Montana, on Friday due to a mechanical issue, a Billings airport official said.
The Republican presidential nominee is scheduled to hold a rally in nearby Bozeman, Montana, Friday evening, and is still expected to make it.

So beautiful, flying over and you just look down and that's the way it's supposed to be," Trump said in a video from his plane posted to social media, making no mention of any plane issues or of the diversion.

On Thursday, Donald Trump held a formal press conference and took questions from the gathered journalists, facing challenging questions and confronting issues. Imagine this: a candidate making themself available to the media and addressing policy. How novel and unexpected. (Kamala Harris has now gone 20 days since she became the announced Democrat candidate without doing so.)
In practiced fashion, the New York Times decided it would provide a team of fact-checkers to tear into Trump’s many claims. What is notable about this exercise is how we have never seen such an application of diligent journalism
Now this is how you play three-dimensional chess. After the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran threatened massive retaliation ... but hesitated. Hezbollah also threatened to attack on an unprecedented scale ... but has yet to do so. Intel out of the region suggested earlier this week that Iran might wait until the Israeli holiday of mourning on Tisha B'av, if indeed they decide to attack at all, which suddenly sounded less firm later this week after Israel threatened to retaliate against all of their enemies as disproportionately as they could.
Tisha B'av starts on Monday. Today, Benjamin Netanyahu agreed

Have you been wondering how Kamala Harris went from unpopular in the polls — maybe even more unpopular than Joe Biden — to now supposedly making Democrats all excited? Democrats and their acolytes in the media are trying to recast Kalama and now her VP choice. They don't want to talk about the fact that she's done nothing for the past three-plus years but push bad policies and cover up Biden's cognitive decline.
Megyn Kelly spoke with Andrew Klavan about the effort to repackage Harris — first, by not letting her answer questions or do interviews that might expose her problems. JD Vance mocked that

While President Joe Biden spends yet another weekend in Delaware after the collapse of his 2024 campaign his son, Hunter Biden, is facing new and damning facts from Special Counsel David Weiss. According to a new court filing, the younger Biden took millions of dollars from a Romanian real estate tycoon in exchange for U.S. policy changes toward corruption in the country. The exchange took place while President Joe Biden was the Vice President during President Barack Obama's administration.
For weird characters like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, now Kamala Harris's running mate, there is no such thing as human nature.
Which is why he and his woke coevals are constantly in for a surprise when they make human beings into their guinea pigs for a Better World.

The president of the Olympics’s governing body no longer believes in basic human biology when it comes to determining a person’s biological sex, a testament to the influence of progressive gender ideology across many major institutions.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach suggested during a press conference Friday that identifying people’s biological sex based on their chromosomes is outdated. His comments came in response to a question about the recent controversy over two boxers competing in the women’s division after failing sex-identification tests administered by an outside sports body last year.

The Institute for the Study of War has laid out an analysis of the state of play — if one can use such a phrase for such a disturbing subject — in the Middle East, where Israel faces a possible onslaught by Iran and all of its proxies in the region. Some claim it is already set to be unleashed on the Jewish day of mourning, Tisha b’Av, that falls this year beginning on the night of August 12 and lasts until the next day, August 13. Or it could come as soon as Monday. These proxies include what remains of Hamas as a fighting force in Gaza,

As part of their embarrassing smear campaign against Republicans worried about the integrity of America’s elections, legacy media have twisted themselves into pretzels trying to convince the country that foreign nationals interfering in the U.S. electoral system is a nonexistent problem.
So-called “journalists” and their Democrat political allies regularly claim concerns about noncitizens registering ahead of and voting in the 2024 election are baseless because it’s already illegal for foreigners to cast ballots in federal contests. Of course, these self-professed “experts” on “misinformation” conveniently decline to mention that there’s no enforcement mechanism to prevent this from happening; or that numerous Democrat-run cities have granted illegal aliens
Former President Donald Trump’s favorability and approval ratings approached their highest mark on record, according to RealClearPolitics and FiveThirtyEight.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, now the running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris, is facing questions about his role in freeing a man twice convicted of the killing of an 11-year-old girl, and who now facing gun and drug felonies.
Myon Burrell, then 16, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison after a stray bullet killed 11-year-old girl Tyesha Edwards while she was doing her homework at her dining room table in Hennepin County, Minnesota, in 2002.

While the Biden administration placed former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on a watchlist, the FBI released into the U.S. on a special parole the Pakistani man who sought to plan an assassination of Donald Trump and other politicians.

Vice President Kamala Harris is using the same speech over and over again on the campaign trail, adding fuel to criticism that she is unable to speak without a script prepared by her handlers.
The pattern was noticeable in Harris’s speech on Tuesday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when she introduced Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.Her introductory remarks on that occasion mirrored her remarks last month, when she first addressed campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware. Here is what she said (with audience interjections) in Philadelphia: Now, many of you know, before I was elected Vice President or elected a United States Senator, I was an elected attorney general, and before that,
Former California Attorney General Kamala Harris ordered a raid on David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, who exposed Planned Parenthood’s heinous practice of selling aborted baby parts.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Planned Parenthood was caught admitting to this barbaric activity, and Kamala Harris, instead of investigating the illegal trafficking of fetal organs, went after the journalist who brought the truth to light.
The controversy began in 2015 when Daleiden, posing as a laboratory wholesaler, secretly recorded conversations with top officials at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, including Dr. Ann Schutt-Ainé, the chief medical officer,
Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday heralded Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as the running mate who will “unify this country.”
But Walz’s history of turning a blind eye to the plunder of politically favored racketeers suggests he’ll instead bow to Democrats’ special interests.
Last week, Walz sneered that Republicans “don’t know anything about family values. Family values means . . . feeding children.”
But do politicians deserve applause for government food programs that feed no one?
That would be the nation’s largest single piece of COVID fraud, Minnesota’s $250 million “Feeding the Future” scandal.

Is Kamala Black?

Probably inadvertently and for all the wrong reasons, Donald Trump made an important point last week when he said of the Democrats’ most recent presidential nominee, Kamala Harris:
“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black.”

In fact, it actually is important that Harris is not a foundational black American (FBA), but rather, the child of immigrants. I know we don’t talk about it nearly enough, but remember slavery?
If the polls are right, support for Vice President Kamala Harris, the new Democratic nominee for president, is booming. After months of President Joe Biden trailing former President Donald Trump in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls, Harris now narrowly leads Trump. The last six polls in the average show Harris ahead. Although this is exactly what Trump’s pollster predicted would happen in the immediate aftermath of the Biden-Harris switch, it is still disheartening for Republicans.

Only a small number of Americans understand the relationship between the U.S. State Dept (DoS) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). However, as more people understand how these two agencies operate, then people have a much more accurate context for how both agencies are viewed by the rest of the world. Almost every deployed CIA operative has a cover profile within the State Dept. The foreign service missions of the DoS and CIA are so enmeshed there is literally no way to separate the functions of their agencies.

The Ukrainian Army launched an attack into Russia's Kursk Oblast during the early hours of Tuesday. The attacking force seems to consist of about two brigades of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, totaling about 1500 to 2000 troops. The attack swiftly overran Russian positions, seized over 200 square miles of Russian territory, seized the gas pumping station that controls all Russian gas flows to Europe, and appears to have controlled the main Russian railway supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine.
U.S., Ukrainian and Russian officials all acknowledged the ongoing attack, which stunned Moscow and appeared to involve the use of armored fighting vehicles donated to Kyiv

“Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country,” Harris said. “And I think that we all should.”

The problem with many liberals is they can’t live in their own truth. They abandon ship as soon as it becomes inconvenient to maintain their current persona. The most obvious and telling recent examples come from the Democrat Presidential candidate-by-fiat, Kamala Harris.

American Jews have many concerns. Israel ranks low on their priority list, about as low as European Jews ranked on the priority list of American Jews during Kristallnacht 1938 and the Holocaust.

The event, held at Mar-a-Lago, featured Trump ripping into Harris’ intelligence, announcing three dates for debates with the vice president, and warning how the nation is on the verge of economic disaster if Kamala wins in November.The media tried to fact-check the president, and it devolved into such a ticky-tack game of linguistic nonsense that it only served as yet another reminder of why these clowns are mocked and distrusted.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is ordering all votes for the 2024 presidential election to be cast by paper ballot.
Youngkin issued Executive Order 35 on Wednesday, which codifies election security protocols established under his governance for all future elections.
"The Virginia model for Election Security works. This isn't a Democrat or Republican issue, it's an American and Virginian issue," Youngkin said in an announcement. "Every legal vote deserves to be counted without being watered down by illegal votes or inaccurate machines. In Virginia, we don’t play games and our model for election security is working."
Joy Reid sparked backlash with another hot take on TikTok as she claimed Arizona Senator Mark Kelly would have been a better VP pick for Kamala Harris because he is as white as 'a mayonnaise sandwich on wonder bread.'
The MSNBC host, 55, admitted that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was 'not the pick I expected', and 'thought (Harris) would go astronaut.'
Reid was branded a 'racist' by online critics for her remarks, with one questioning: 'Could you imagine if this was reversed?'
Kamala Harris held a rally in Detroit Wednesday in which she once again trotted out some kind of weird accent that she somehow thinks honors the locale (but which is actually insulting), and she once again had to provide a free concert to get folks to show up. But there was something different about this rally - that's the completely FUBAR'd logistical situation as the rally-goers tried to get back home. The chaotic scene perfectly encapsulates what America would be like under a Harris presidency: a complete lack of organization/accountability/sense in government, resulting in tired, hungry, and angry masses of people simply trying to escape.
How long has it been since the coup on Biden that took the Democratic nomination from Joe and handed it to Kamala Harris? Eighteen days?
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance have been excoriating her over her failure to respond to questions, do an interview, or even enunciate her positions on issues. But she's gone to ground, embracing the Joe Biden "basement strategy." But on Thursday, reporters were finally able to corner Kamala for a few questions. She responded to a couple, but not surprisingly, she gave non-answer answers.
She was asked about the stolen valor scandal imploding around her VP choice Tim Walz regarding his comments
Kamala Harris finally broke her silence on allegations that her running mate Tim Walz embellished his military service to boost his military career.
Harris faced the media for the first time since becoming the Democratic nominee on Thursday and confronted claims that Walz misrepresented his rank when he retired from the National Guard and also mistakenly claimed he 'went to war.'
She responded: 'Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country. And I think that we all should.'
I've said it out loud. I'm sure you've said it out loud. But it's one thing for a private citizen like you or me to say it — and it's quite another for a former and probably future president of the United States to say it out loud.
In public. On camera. For the whole world to hear and see.
It was a glorious thing to say, too — and for more than just the obvious reason that it happens to be true. But I'll get to that in a moment.
"The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden," former President Donald Trump told reporters during a sometimes testy press conference
People in the Bronx are not falling for identity politics in 2024.
Furthermore, many seemed to be in agreement with President Trump that Kamala Harris flip-flopped on her racial identity to score political points.
Please check out this reporter’s Newsmax package shot in the Bronx, New York: (X Video) *Please share this tweet to disprove the fake news!The overwhelming consensus amongst the Black and Latino voters we spoke to was that a candidate’s race is not important in their decision on who to vote for. More importantly to them is policy.
Britain is no longer falling.
It has fallen, and it may never get back up.
Hate speech laws have been plaguing Britain for years, and people have sporadically gotten arrested for offending the wrong person--usually somebody in the alphabet community, who are the most "protected" people in the Western world right now. Close behind are Muslims, who can rampage across Great Britain shouting about killing all Jews, replacing English law with Sharia, and run a parallel police system to enforce Sharia among Muslims. The warnings went out a few days ago, telling people not to be mean online.
Possibly very true. Also possibly very true: The US might need to strike actual gold to afford it.
Nevertheless, Donald Trump has emphasized his desire to find new places to cut taxes in order to generate real economic growth. Those ideas are also clearly aimed at finding inroads into traditional Democrat constituencies. A proposal to end taxes on tips has a lot of appeal for low-income servers, who are likely younger voters, and both are key demos for Kamala Harris and other Democrats. It didn't woo the culinary union leaders, but it might appeal to their members.
His latest proposal clearly has the New York Times worried
